Interesting Turn of Events in 'Russiagate' Conspiracy posted by Paul Craig Roberts via justin, 2018-01-10 06:20:26
Russiagate originated in a conspiracy between the military/security complex, the Clinton-controlled Democratic National Committee, and the liberal/progressive/left. The goal of the military/security complex is to protect its out-sized budget and power by preventing President Trump from normalizing relations with Russia. Hillary and the DNC want to explain away their election loss by blaming a Trump/Putin conspiracy to steal the election. The liberal/progressive/left want Trump driven from office. (full story)

Trump, the 'Very Stable Genius,' Is Falling Apart as Mueller Seeks Interview posted by Jefferson Morley via jake, 2018-01-10 05:09:44
The tide of discussion of President Trump’s mental competence is rising along with the alarm of the president’s lawyers. As special prosecutor Robert Mueller seeks an interview with President Trump, the president's legal representatives are grappling with the challenge of a talkative client who alternates between self-serving lies and self-destructive truths while sowing doubts among his own closest aides about his mental stability.

Iran Would Easily Survive yet Another Feeble Colour Revolution Attempt by the USA posted by justin, 2018-01-09 21:10:35
Indeed, the USA has tried this form of destabilisation numerous times in the past, and each has met with FAILURE. One wonders at times why America persists with these futile attempts, but we know, the American deep state is ossified and is unable to learn NEW tricks, so like the insane, defined by Einstein, it continues to pursue failed methods hoping for another outcome.

With major NSA surveillance authorities set to expire later this month, House Republicans are rushing to pass a bill that would not only reauthorize existing powers, but also codify into law some practices that critics have called unconstitutional. (full story)

"Supporting net neutrality should be a no-brainer for members of Congress, whose constituents from across the political spectrum are united in their opposition to the Trump FCC's attack on the open internet." (full story)

The Trump White House From a Different Perspective posted by jude, 2018-01-07 19:48:50
Depending on how you view any situation you arrive at certain conclusions creating a reality for yourself -- there is no escaping this post-modernist view, which is proven daily. Safety of course is enabled by numbers, my views align with such and such ‘powerful’ entities, so I’m safe. (full story)

Fukushima Nuclear Meltdown continues Unabated posted by Helen Caldicott via jane, 2018-01-06 21:59:39
It has become apparent that the nuclear fiasco at Fukushima, largely the result of corporate deceit fraud and failures to take the usual precautions, is beyond repair and stabilisation. The reactors CONTINUE to pour massive amounts of poisonous radiation into Northern hemisphere oceans and no-one is willing to take responsibility. Well, legal challenges from affected nations would soon remedy that. Clearly two corporations and governments are responsible and that allows for massive reparations and future compensation for the increasing radiation discharge into the sea, with no REAL efforts to stem it. It is viewed as hopeless though responsible parties continue to sweat over the REAL possibilities of legal challenges, not only from Japanese immediately affected but from the many nations which would soon be seriously affected by radioactive seas/seafood on their shores. There are reasons why the elite owned mass media has blocked stories on the ongoing problems at Fukushima. (full story)

Pakistan Just Shoved Boot Down America’s Throat -- thanks, “stable genius” Donald posted by james, 2018-01-06 20:49:51
Indeed, Trump the shallowest thinker in the history of politics, unintentionally invited Pakistan to teach America a lesson it would not soon forget. Pakistan has just ordered over 1.3 million Afghan refugees to leave the country and return home in 30 days. Of course the effect is entirely predictable, thanks to “stable genius”, in his own words, Trump, who thoughtlessly tweeted the following: (full story)

Everyone in Trumpworld Knows He’s an Idiot posted by Michelle Goldberg via gail, 2018-01-05 18:36:03
The following recent article from the New York Times proves beyond doubt that the USA is a dysfunctional State. Indeed the title highlights what the ENTIRE WORLD already knows, YET, the powers that be in the USA are unable to oust a completely destructive, to himself and the nation, buffoon, cognitively impaired president -- and that is the point. Provisions exist for the removal of an idiot president BUT Congress and the administration are unwilling to make the necessary moves. Why? Simply due to the fact that the NATION itself is reflected in the president, it is DYSFUNCTIONAL and unraveling as I write. Cognitively impaired Trump singlehandedly has done more to harm the USA than any other American in the history of the nation, and when you consider bumbling Bush and the evil Cheney administration that's a BIG call.

The Decline and Fall of the USA posted by jake, 2018-01-04 22:53:21
The following article (an informative read) though detailed, points to a symptomatic appraisal of something much larger in scope, the fall of a self-styled imperial power; and fall it must, not least due to the reasons outlined in the article, a thoroughly flawed, inept and incompetent ELECTED leader.

The Net’s Good Ol' Boys: Hacking the Arpanet posted by Geoff Dutton via claire, 2018-01-04 05:17:38
It’s hard to imagine now, but there was a time before the Internet, a time when computers took up more space than the acolytes who tended to their needs. In the 70s I was one such boffin, a postgrad hacking away in a university R&D lab. Computers then were still quite dear, and so we made do with terminals that sucked electrons from the teat of a minicomputer several blocks away through fiber cable. (full story)
